To wax or not to wax!

[~me~]

Hi

This is such a funny discussion..I only say that as I have just gone and had what is called an extended bikini line for the first time. Someone gave me the link in a another thread I am in I had posted what I had just done. I have had two previous births with stitches and the bleeding is quite heavy and usually get a tidy up only. A friend reccommended an extended as she said it was a bit easier after birth if you have stitches and also for the bleeding..

My beautician was very aware and had the bed up on an angle so I wasn't flat..I would pass out if I lay flat on my back at the moment. I remember the first time with my 1st DS...I was actually due and she said she could tell as the temperature in between your thighs increases? She was very serious

Good luck with your decision....my husband was very funny. I told him what I had done and he asked "did I do that for the OG?"..so I had to explain why

I think some people decide they should start just before they have a baby as their bits will be on display more than usual and getting waxed when you haven't done so before is more of a problem than getting your usual wax done close to your due date. New waxers are more likely to get ingrown hairs etc and have a tender area for longer than seasoned waxers.

I am not a waxer myself, but do whatever makes you feel better before and after labour. You really won't care during it.

Yeah, I don't think I'd recommend a new waxer begin just before birth! Unless they had a container of MooGoo Post Wax cream
Even then, I have got an ingrown now from a wax from months ago that's been refusing to come close enough to attach...and I'm a brazilian waxer from before DS's birth! It's the first real ingrown problem I've had there since I was a teenager (had an abcessed follicle in the 'crease' that joins the thigh on the front of the pubic bone and made wearing conventional undies very uncomfy!).
